It is even possible to have them of different materials. But now I am working on an equipment table to handle this and I'm pondering the best way to do it. I had thought to simply assume a weight of 1lb for a singular piece of armor other than the breast plate. Then I was going to go by the Bazaar metal costs and use the appropriate modifier. That would mean that everything starts with a base cost of 1sp. For a steel greave it would be 1 sp x 7 modifier for that metal, = 7sp. Now I find that cheap. Also that really is just the materials - what should the modifier be for the workmanship? And that then begs the question of how about masterwork pieces?What's everyone's suggestions? I could make it a base cost of 1gp. That would make the cost of the above greave 7gp which I find more reasonable. But still there is nothing there for the work, it is all materials. Maybe 50% mark up for workmanship? So 10gp for the greave?Suggestions would be most welcome.</blockquote>
